EGGPLANT AND TOMATO GRATIN



Eggplant and Tomato Gratin image

This is a delicious, low-fat version of eggplant Parmesan. Instead of the usual heavy, breaded fried eggplant, here the eggplant is roasted and sliced, then layered with a rich tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan, and baked in a hot oven until bubbly.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small or 1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 to 4 garlic cloves (to taste)
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, quartered if you have a food mill, peeled, seeded and chopped if you don't, or 1 1/2 (28-ounce) cans chopped tomatoes, with juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 sprigs fresh basil
2 pounds eggplant, roasted
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons slivered fresh basil leaves
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Roast the eggplant.
  • Meanwhile, to make the tomato sauce, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy, preferably nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about a minute, and add the tomatoes, salt (1/2 to 1 teaspoon), pepper, sugar, and basil sprigs. Turn the heat up to medium-high and when the tomatoes are bubbling, stir well and turn the heat back to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and are beginning to stick to the pan, about 25 minutes. Remove the basil sprigs, wiping any sauce that adheres to them back into the sauce.
  • Put the sauce through the fine blade of a food mill if you have not peeled the tomatoes. Otherwise pulse in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until coarsely pureed. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Set aside 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and mix with the breadcrumbs. Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish with olive oil. Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce over the bottom of the dish. Slice the roasted eggplant about 1/4 inch thick and set an even layer of the slices over the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon a layer of sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with basil and Parmesan. Repeat the layers one or two more times, depending on the shape of your dish and the size of your eggplant slices, ending with a layer of sauce topped with the Parmesan/breadcrumb mixture you set aside. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until bubbling and browned on the top and edges. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

Categories     Onions

Time 47m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 small eggplants (250 g total)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 small onion, finely sliced in rings (vidalia or spanish)
3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 large tomatoes, finely sliced
1/2 cup asiago cheese, grated
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cut the ends of the eggplants, then cut in slices of 1/2 inch thickness. In an oven proof dish, mix eggplants, garlic and half oil, half salt and half pepper (I mixed everything in a large bowl). Lay out the eggplant slices in one layer in a baking dish (I used a large baking pan and I made half recipe). Cook under the preheated grill of the oven (6 inches apart from the grill), for about 6 minutes or until golden (flip them one time).
  • In a large baking dish (I sprayed it with PAM), put half of the eggplants, cover with onion slices and sprinkle with half of the italian seasoning. Drizzle with half of the remaining oil and sprinkle with half of the remaining salt and pepper. Do another layer the same way with tomato slices then cover with remaining eggplant. Add italian seasoning. Cook in the preheated oven of 400F for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Sprinkle with asiago and mozzarella and put under preheated grill for 1 minute or until the cheese has melted and is golden.

GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND FETA



Grilled Eggplant with Tomatoes, Basil, and Feta image

The secret to perfectly tender eggplant is salting before you cook. Here, flame-kissed slices are topped with a simple tomato salad for a satisfying vegetarian main course.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed, cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 10 ounces), halved
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn if large

Steps:

  • Generously season eggplant slices with salt. Place vertically in a colander, overlapping them. Let stand 30 minutes; rinse and pat dry.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Liberally brush cut sides of eggplant with oil. Grill, turning once, until tender, about 4 minutes a side. Mix tomatoes, pine nuts, feta, red-pepper flakes, and oil; season with salt. Spoon over eggplant; top with basil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for firm, glossy eggplants with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft, wrinkled, or have brown spots.
  • Slice the eggplant evenly: This will help ensure that they cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Salting the eggplant: This helps to remove some of the bitterness from the eggplant and also helps to draw out excess moisture. Be sure to rinse the eggplant thoroughly after salting to remove any excess salt.
  • Grilling the eggplant: Grilling the eggplant gives it a smoky flavor and helps to caramelize the sugars in the eggplant. This makes the eggplant more flavorful and tender.
  • Making the tomato sauce: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as onions, garlic, or bell peppers. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Assembling the gratin: Layer the grilled eggplant, tomato sauce, and cheese in a baking dish. Repeat the layers until you have used all of the ingredients. Sprinkle the top with additional cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Baking the gratin: Bake the gratin in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Grilled Eggplant and Tomato Gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The smoky flavor of the grilled eggplant pairs perfectly with the fresh, tangy tomato sauce and the melted cheese. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
